Donald Trump’s war with the mainstream media might have just taken a hilarious turn. After months of sparring with so-called “fake news” sources such as CNN and MSNBC, the president may finally have gotten the last laugh.

Several reports indicate that the Trump administration has ordered all government agencies to tune their TV sets to one channel: Fox News.

According to the Independent Journal Review, the alleged order received attention after a staff member at the Food and Drug Administration brought it up to reporter Julia Reinstein.

Shortly after Reinstein published the email, a second reporter claimed that the Department of Health and Human Services had also been ordered to tune every TV in the common areas of its facilities to Fox News.

“HHS sources confirmed that in their dept all the tvs had been switched to Fox as well,” BuzzFeed contributor Ema O’Connor later tweeted.

“There was no directive or memorandum from the Administration that went out to employees about broadcast news channels displaying on monitors in common areas throughout the FDA’s White Oak campus,” the agency claried, according to BuzzFeed.

Despite the confusion over whether an actual order had been issued, some government employees seemed downright hysterical at the prospect that Fox News might appear on their TVs.

“My biggest fear about having a ‘right wing’ news source playing in our halls is that it will drive away some people on the left who are already suspicious about FDA being a shill for big pharma,” said one government employee, who wished to remain anonymous.

“We put a lot of work into disseminating health and safety information, but it’s not helpful for people who think it’s all a ploy and ignore it,” the fearful employee told Julia Reinstein.

Apparently it is completely fine to have every government television tuned to the left-leaning CNN, but simply changing the source to the most popular cable news channel in America is some sort of authoritarian conspiracy.

If an order did actually go out to federal agencies, the move would be classic Trump. The new president is famous for baiting the mainstream media and giving leftists cases of the vapors for simply saying what is on his mind.

Left-leaning outlets such as CNN have recently been fighting with Trump over a 30 second commercial which showcases his accomplishments. The words “fake news” were enough to cause every major network except Fox to reject the ad, which covers Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Regardless of whether the Fox-only order is real or just a figment of liberals’ imaginations, the idea of Donald Trump trolling the media on the monitors of every government TV in the country is downright hilarious.
